Trump has been playing UNO all along, while everyone was convince he was playing 4d chess. This is pure market manipulation, all his friends just got 100x richer.
Oh boy! Can't wait for the functioning court system and laws to punish this obvious and ridiculously amateur insider trading!
It's beginning to feel more and more like the 90s in the Eastern bloc: An old, dying system for sale to those in the know and with the right corrupt connections.
